3 weeks post op Brazilian Butt Lift, my knees and thighs are stiff. Is this normal?

Question

I had BBL 3 and 1/2 weeks ago. Fat was taken most from above knees and inner knees and thighs. Surgeon saus my fat was stubborn at hard to get out. I am still VERY swollen and VERY stiff. Not able to bend my knees more than 30 degrees. Need help to get dressed/undressed. When will it go away? Is it normal? Also, I had a lipo at the same areas 1 year ago. Please help!

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation, discomfort and irregularities are normal.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)
